IGN Babes Interview: Tara Lee

Share.

SoCal is a bit sunnier with Tara in the picture.

Sometimes, it's just this easy... you sit down at your desk in the morning, and a beautiful girl emails and asks to be included on your website. You chat, she answers some questions, and voila! Instant interview.

The funny thing that happened this time, however, was that once Tara Lee contacted us, we ran into her at Square Enix's Final Fantasy Fan Fest, where she was dressed as a mythical mithra. As Walt Disney said, "It's a small world after all."

Tara has taken off the cat ears and gotten back to non-cosplay modeling (for the time being--she may return at E3). Here's what she had to say about her time in the business:

IGN Babes: So where do you call home?

Tara Lee: South Korea. Because that is where I was born and where I first grew up.

IGN: Where would you like to call home?

Tara Lee: Hawaii. Because I love the beach.

IGN: What made you want to be a model, and how did you get into it?

Tara Lee: I wanted to be a model because my friends told me to give it a try so I did. And an agent happened to pick me up from work and told me to sign with them.

IGN: What are your biggest likes and dislikes about modeling?

Tara Lee: Likes: the events I get to attend and the lovely girls I get to meet. Dislikes: the drama and the negative feedback that all models receive.

IGN: Have you had any particularly memorable experiences while on a modeling job? It could be good or bad...

Tara Lee: Well I just started but being able to meet more experienced models and attending events were very enjoyable for me.

IGN: Where else might we have seen you in the past?

Tara Lee: Umm&#Array; I doubt anywhere in particular, all I can think of is MySpace.

IGN: What job would interest you besides modeling?

Tara Lee: Teaching and taking care of children.

IGN: What are some of your hobbies?

Tara Lee: Dancing, swimming, drinking, shopping, listening to music, and having a night out with my friends.

Tara Lee: On-- people that can carry on a conversation and people that are outgoing and willing to do almost anything without thinking about how stupid they look doing it. Off-- bad hygiene and people that are major bull sh**ers.

IGN: What is one thing about your personality that everyone should know?

Tara Lee: I am actually a bit shy when it comes to meeting new people. And I have very high morals and expectations for myself.

IGN: Videogames are what pays the bills here at IGN so we have to ask: are you into videogames at all?

Tara Lee: I use to be until it took over my life so I had to quit.

IGN: What do you think about guys who play videogames?

Tara Lee: As long as their life doesn't revolve around videogames, I don't find a reason to think negatively about dudes that play games.

IGN: Future projects / events where we can find you?

Tara Lee: Not exactly sure yet, but I should be representing Square Enix at E3 2006 in May also attending Glamourcon in June. You can also look for me on www.MsTaralee.com.

IGN: Now is your chance to plug anything you want. Ready? Go!

Tara Lee: I eat like a cow, I love brand names, I'm not spoiled but I try to spoil myself, very independent, hope to be a millionaire one day (or marry one), and I'm hooked on MySpace.
